Soleil: prototype #1

you could say that i’ve been sewing quite a lot of tops of late (most of them can be seen on the instagram feed, and yes, uploading more detailed photos on the blog is very much a to do). and while all of them are well designed, a joy to sew and lovely . . . none of them were exactly my style, which my husband has worked out to be “flowy top and jeans.”

somewhere in the middle of all this top making, i got around to scribbling out a pattern for a summer top in line with my tastes. i’m calling it “soleil” and here’s the first prototype (made out of liberty tana lawn bamboo garden b ):

a gathered bodice for volume and “flowiness”

button closure in the back

two pockets in the front!

and now to test drive it tonight . . . as it is a friday night after all!
